ESSENTIAL CITY GUIDES
Concur with all that has already been said. One visit was two visits too many. Microwave something from the freezer section at the grocery and enjoy. It'll be better, I guarantee it.
Pekin was the first and last chinese restaurant we dined in after we moved to Poznan last year. Our experience at Pekin is pretty much summarized by A. Welsh. I literally threw up after biting into the spring rolls. To top off the food experience, the service wasn't impressive. Don't be fooled by the external and internal chinese decor because the food they serve is "rubbish". The restaurant should be closed down.
Mark every word I say. I was there with a friend recently. On the strength of what I had, this place should be closed for masquerading as a Chinese. It was appaling!!!. We started with spring rolls. What we got was dire - they were simply pastry tubes filled, not with beansprouts and shreds of meat and veg, but with some extruded, reconstituted, solidified meat paste, as you get in cheap chicken roll - tasteless! Next, was chicken in chili sauce with noodles; that is what I ordered. What I got was chopped chicken pieces covered in a glutinous, congealing, sweet, red catering pack sauce (powder?).Under the chicken was, wait for it, the ubiqiuitous, shredded, raw vegetables, this time carrot only, they had run out of cabbage, no doubt. My noodles were in fact poorly cooked spaghetti with little pieces of omlette. The chili sauce was not chili but ghastly sweet and was cold in minutes. Absolutely, bloody shameful! My friend's rice was a glutinous glob and his beef and fried leeks, that's all I could see, was slapdash. He was ravenous and could have eaten a singed Budgie in flaming Marmite that night. I do not recommend this place at all. The owners should not play on the obvious fact that Poles are not discerning as regards foreign cuisine, so you can serve up any old pap. This was rubbish, but we had to pay for it. As Johnny Rotten said once "Ever felt cheated?" Avoid this place like the plague - just stay at home or the hotel and open a jar of an Uncle Ben's substitute, probably just like them. What an embarrasing and shameful joke this place is!!
